How the FCC is trying to pave the way for widespread 5G technology

President Trump announced efforts Friday to boost development of a new frontier of high-speed mobile networks. Known as 5G, as in the fifth generation of cellular networks, the technology could eventually offer speeds up to 100 times faster than those available now. Amna Nawaz talks to Ajit Pai, chairman of the FCC, about how the government is paving the way for companies to offer 5G coverage.
